| Pixar Officially Developing Ratatouille 2: Beloved Animated Classic Returns After 18 Years. |
Great news for fans of animated films — Pixar is reportedly in the early stages of developing Ratatouille 2, a long-awaited sequel to the iconic movie about Remy, the rat with an extraordinary talent for cooking. This exciting update comes from well-known Hollywood insider Jeff Sneider, who frequently breaks news before official confirmations.
Still in Early Development Stage
According to Sneider, Ratatouille 2 is currently in very early development, and it remains unclear whether Brad Bird, the original film’s director, will return for this project. While Pixar has not yet made an official statement, the buzz online is growing rapidly, with fans already speculating about possible plotlines and character returns.
The original Ratatouille, released in 2007, told the story of Remy, a rat with a gift for flavor and aroma, who dreamed of becoming a top chef in Paris. It became an instant classic and earned a special place in the hearts of audiences worldwide.
Box Office Success and Cultural Impact
When it first hit theaters, Ratatouille was a massive success, grossing over Rp10 trillion (approximately $620 million USD) at the global box office. It also won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, solidifying Pixar's status as a leader in animated storytelling.
Its message — that “anyone can cook” — resonated with viewers of all ages and backgrounds, inspiring countless fans around the globe.
Pixar Is Now Focusing More on Sequels
The development of Ratatouille 2 reflects a growing trend at Pixar: a strategic shift toward creating sequels of proven hits rather than taking risks with original stories. In 2024, Inside Out 2 dominated the global box office, earning over Rp28 trillion (about $1.7 billion USD), showing just how powerful familiar franchises can be.
Other upcoming sequels in Pixar’s pipeline include:
-
Toy Story 5
-
The Incredibles 3
-
Coco 2
Meanwhile, their most recent original release, Elio, struggled to make an impact, which may further push the studio to revisit its past successes.
What Could the Sequel Be About?
While details remain scarce, fans are already imagining what the new chapter could bring. Will Remy finally open his own Michelin-starred restaurant? Will we see more of Linguini and Colette? Could new culinary adventures take Remy to a different part of the world?
Whatever the direction, expectations are high, and Pixar has a rich legacy to uphold. If handled with the same heart and creativity as the original, Ratatouille 2 could become another timeless favorite.
